Last Sunday evening while Aaron
| Klein and John Swire were engaged IN
lighting the street lamps, their horse
took sudden fright, running into
renee and landing the occupants out in

meeting Of the company previous to the
first Monday of May 1t was deed bV u
unanimous resolution not to turn ou,
for inspection on account of the truck
and other fire equipments not being 10

to exceed four Thousand dollars failed
to carry by just eight votes of the neces-
sary two, thirds majority. However, ths'
does not leave the council pOwerless; IN
spite OF those that voted against the
project the council can devote wha,
money they have to provide better fire
protection which should be done at all
hazards.
